Passion Fruit Flan

A refreshing dessert that balances the sweet and tangy flavors of passion fruit with a creamy and delicate flan. Served chilled, this dessert is perfect for warm weather or to end a dinner party on a high note.

Instructions

1. 1

   Pour a cup of sugar (200g) and ⅓ cups (80ml) of passion fruit juice into a saucepan over a medium heat. Let the sugar melt and form a golden color. Don't over stir. Take off the heat.

2. 2

   Spoon the caramel into each ramekin, and swirl it around so the bottom is covered. Set aside to cool.

3. 3

   In another saucepan, heat heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and two tablespoons of passion fruit juice. Stir until well mixed and hot.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, mix egg yolks, eggs, and gradually pour in the hot passion fruit cream mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture through a sieve to make the mixture smooth.

5. 5

   Place the ramekins into a large roasting pan. Pour hot water into the pan to come roughly halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 45 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the flan cool outside the oven, and then refrigerate it for at least two hours.

7. 7

   When you're ready to serve the flan, run a knife around the edges to loosen, place a dish over the top of the ramekin and quickly invert it.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
